Legal Slifer the Sky Dragon card to be released

Well, it seems like people who were waiting for a legal version of Slifer the Sky Dragon are about to get what they want! Though the announcement comes from a Japanese magazine called V Jump, it brings further hope for TCG players everywhere that we may one day obtain the last card to complete the Egyptian god trilogy! Since Shonen Jump is moving on to a digital-only platform in the summer of 2012, is it safe to assume that Slifer will release alongside the 2012 Premium Tin?

edit “Slifer will be released as the next shonen jump alpha promo card”

(Also, as a side note, if you’ve been following the blog, you might have noticed that there haven’t been a Card of the Night in the past couple weeks; it’s just been so busy lately that we haven’t managed to make a new feature, but we are working on one coming soon!)

*Update 4/30/2012: Slifer the Sky Dragon has been confirmed to be a Shonen Jump Alpha subscription promo! You can read the details here.

Slifer is the best legal card by far, obelisk is pretty good too but winged dragon of ra sucks now, u have to have so many life points just to be competitive with it, i cant wait for slifer cuz when it comes out im sure horakhty will follow

OMG i have the legal, gold trim obelisk and legal the winged dragon of ra (which is so common by the way)…. why cant they just release slifer. they wanna release the sacred beasts and the wicked gods, but the dont wanna release slifer… plainly ignorant, i say
